Chapter 54: Visiting the Door to Make Aparations
The next day, Pei Lingniang and Cui Ningqian came to visit Xue Shao's injuries in person. Qingrong said that he had just woken up, after all, Yu Feng had also seen it, and if he hadn't woken up for too long, it would inevitably make people suspicious.
Qingrong said: "Mrs. Lao Pei and Cui Cheng came to visit in person, but Changxuan just woke up not long ago, and it is inconvenient to see guests, so I hope you two will forgive me." ”
Pei Lingniang took over and said, "Let him rest well, Mo because we disturbed Zhonglang will rest." She sighed, her face embarrassed: "As soon as I got home yesterday, I found out about it, and I learned that it was... It was the elders of the family who did not look at the horse and frightened the horse, but did not report it in time, so that he committed this mistake. The two of us are here today, one is to visit, and the other is to ask Sanniang to forgive... Don't make a public announcement. ”
She said it tactfully, if Qingrong hadn't heard Pei Lingniang say this, I'm afraid it would be really hard not to agree.
Qingrong glanced at Cui Ningqian, with a guilty expression on her face, and saw Pei Lingniang's different posture from yesterday, she knew it in her heart. Qingrong sighed, shook his head and said, "Madam, forgive me for saying a disrespectful word, if Cui Cheng suffers this disaster today, what should you do?" What's more, the elders in the family are still there, and I don't count if I say it alone. If Madame really has a heart, you might as well ask my in-laws what they mean. ”
Having said this, Pei Lingniang was secretly happy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. Seeing Qingrong's attitude like this, Pei Lingniang and his wife had no choice but to say goodbye first and go to greet Lu and Xue's father.
Xue Shao had this incident, and many people came to visit, and Wang and Lu Wenzhong also came, so they were relieved to know that he was fine. After Pei Lingniang, the Li family and Pei Lingniang came again, saying that they did not control their subordinates well, and personally wanted to make amends to the Lu family and Xue's father.
It's just that the Lu family didn't want to see her at all, so they asked the Su family and Qingrong to entertain her, "It's just a fake performance here, I don't know what to do, the left and right are the little in their house, since it is to make amends, you two can just watch it." ”
After finally staying up and sending people away, Qing Rongqi said: "A-Niang seems to dislike this Mrs. Li." ”
Su Shi shook his head, and his tone was not as good as before, "She is from the Li family of the Ying Guo Mansion, and the Xue family has never been on good terms with that side, not to mention that Mrs. Li's style of acting on weekdays is not good, and now that Shiro is here, how can A-Niang treat her?" ”
I see, Qingrong nodded. It's not the first time she's heard someone talk about this Mrs. Li, but it's not a good thing every time, and it seems that she is indeed a difficult person to deal with. She couldn't help but think of Pei Lingniang, obviously the two of them were fighting in private, and they still had to make a look of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law on their faces, and it was really not easy to go forward and backward for this matter.
Qingrong said: "I think she came today, not like she came to make amends, but like she came to threaten people." ”
Su Shi was also dissatisfied, and said, "Isn't it? After all, it is also a high-ranking family, and the slaves are all well-trained, and a subordinate who takes care of the horses, if he is not instructed by the master, can poke out such a basket? It's just a pitiful, a substitute for the dead. You see that she came today, and threw this person who was beaten and scarred together, and she was not polite in her words, look at these tricks, how do you look like a lady of a family? ”
Qingrong smiled helplessly, "She is so excited, doesn't she just want us not to come to the stage, if we don't forgive, I heard that we can't tolerate people, and I don't know how to gossip." ”
Su Shi persuaded: "It's really difficult for you, you must be angry in your heart, but for the sake of the reputation of this mansion, you can only endure it." ”
Hearing this, Qingrong smiled bitterly and shook his head.
A few days later, Cui Langjun, who left in a hurry on the day of the hunt, also came to visit, but he came to announce it together
The summoned chamberlains came together.
Xue Shao raised it for a few days, and he got better. It's just that Qingrong is very uneasy, and refuses to let him move at will, so he lies on the recliner. When Cui Chenyu came, he saw him lying lazily, and he got up to greet him.
"I've seen Mrs. Lu." Cui Chenyu greeted Qingrong and asked Xue Shao again, "Is Changxuan's injury better?" ”
"Much better." Xue Shao frowned, he was not commensurate with his brother, he should be called Qingrong's younger brother and sister, why was he so angry?
Cui Chenyu was a little amused and quipped: "Changxuan is really a blessing." ”
Xue Shao was very useful in his heart, but he was still indifferent and indifferent on his face, and asked, "Why did you come here with the inner servant?" ”
Cui Chenyu smiled faintly and explained: "It's also a coincidence, not long after the hunting, the saint learned that the queen was happy, the sacred heart was happy, and he specially remembered that Changxuan had a meritorious escort that day, and did not hurt the queen, so he gave a special reward." ”
Qingrong glanced at the courtyard and looked at the silk jewels that were piled up like a hill, and knew in his heart, and he could see how happy Li Jin was about it.
Xue Shao glanced at Qingrong and couldn't help but think, I don't know when Qingrong will be happy? Cui Chenyu was thinking about how to talk to Qingrong for a while. The three of them had their own thoughts, but they were silent for a while.
Cui Chenyu said: "Since Chang Xuan got married, I went out on patrol with the saint, this is the first time to visit, I have prepared a small gift, and I hope that Mrs. Lu will forgive me." ”
Qingrong smiled politely, "Cui Langjun is too polite." ”
"It was as it should have been."
He and Xue Shao hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they had something to say, so Qingrong didn't bother him, and left the house for the two of them first.
Cui Chenyu's eyebrows raised slightly, and said with a smile: "It seems that you and Lu Niangzi have a very good relationship now." ”
Xue Shao also laughed, "If you are envious, you should marry a wife as soon as possible." ”
Cui Chenyu didn't know what he thought, his eyebrows smiled, and he said lightly: "It's almost there." ”
Xue Shao was also a little curious when he saw this, and wanted to continue asking, but he heard Cui Chenyu say: "Recently, the imperial court received a report, and now Xizhou is a little quiet, but there is chaos in the east, and Goryeo has invaded the border of Daye many times, and the two countries may have the potential to go to war. ”
"If you rely on Goryeo alone, you can't be afraid."
Cui Chenyu said: "Baekje is waiting to see the situation, if the two countries collude, it will become a hidden danger. ”
Xue Shao wrung his eyebrows and said: "There are constant wars in Xizhou, and there are disasters in the east again, and repeated wars will inevitably cost the people and money. ”
Cui Chenyu nodded and said: "Exactly, but I see that the sage's will to go east will be decided, or the general will be determined at the beginning of the spring of the next year." He glanced at Xue Shao, and there was joy in his eyes, "The sage told me about you, maybe he intends to promote, this crusade, or the time for you to show your skills again." ”
Xue Shao didn't have much joy, but was very calm, and said: "It's really not too late to talk about it at that time." ”
……
After Qingrong left, he didn't stay idle, and asked someone to pack up and count these rewards, Xue Shao is now too attentive in the Xue family. This is not a good thing, the benefits are not too little, but uneven. Chu Shi has an opinion about her, and it is already so, and I don't know what other people think.
She asked Yun Niang to sort out these belongings, pick some suitable ones and send them to the Xue family's rooms later, and specially instructed her to remember the Chu couple's share. Ah Zhen laughed at her and said, "The lady is generous. ”
Qingrong smiled, "It's all a family, and we always have to get along in the future, but some possessions are nothing." Speaking of this, she thought that the queen was happy, and she should pick a few decent gifts to send to the Guogong Mansion to congratulate her in the past two days.
Here Xue Shao and Cui Chenyu talked for a long time, and when Qingrong was free to look for it, Cui Chenyu was about to say goodbye and leave. The two happened to meet, and Qingrong asked, "Cui Langjun is leaving?" Why don't you stay and eat before leaving? ”
Cui Chenyu shook his head and smiled, "Thank you for your kindness, Cui won't bother." There's just one thing... Please also ask Mrs. Lu to take a step and listen. ”
Qingrong had some conjectures in his heart, he was mostly looking for himself for Siniang's business. She nodded and led Cui Chenyu to the courtyard, "Cui Langjun is here today, what else is there to do?" ”
Cui Chenyu nodded and smiled, and said, "Don't hide it from Lu Niangzi, I came today to do something with Siniang." ”
Qingrong looked at him with the same indifferent expression, "What do you have to do with her?" ”
"Yes." Cui Chenyu's eyes were resolute and calm, and he said slowly: "I want to marry Siniang as my wife, and I have already expressed my heart to her... Although she agreed, she hoped that I could ask Mrs. Lu. ”
Siniang was not surprised that she would agree to Qingrong, but she was not very relieved about Cui Chenyu, "You want to marry her?" With all due respect, the matter of the marriage contract is a matter of two families, and it should not be taken lightly. Would you like it, and the elders in your family might say yes? ”
The family of the five surnames, the marriage is the most family-oriented, Rao is her marriage to the Xue family, she will be criticized, not to mention that the court where Siniang wants to marry is still the Cui family?
Cui Chenyu's expression was calm, and his tone was firm, "I know what Lu Niangzi meant, but if I am not sure, I dare not and will not let Siniang marry me, my decision is also thoughtful, I believe... Siniang is too. She believes in me so much, I will definitely handle the affairs of the clan, and I will never let her down and make her wronged. ”
Qingrong looked at him and said mercilessly: "It's easy to make a promise, but it's not easy to really do it." ”
Cui Chenyu was not annoyed, smiled, and still had a sincere attitude, "Lu Niangzi is Siniang's sister, it is Siniang's blessing to be able to think about her like this, but please also ask Lu Niangzi to rest assured." ”
Qingrong thought for a while, "Siniang is still in the palace now, and it will not be too late to talk about your affairs with her after she leaves the palace." "Even if there are signs now, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
Cui Chenyu nodded and said, "What Lu Niangzi said is reasonable, I am anxious and want to settle this matter." ”
Qingrong continued: "She may have told you about her marriage... I also asked the queen what she meant, and if not, what will you do? ”
"Your Highness is the daughter of my mother's cousin, and the two families have also been in contact with each other in the past, and they have also mentioned that I have a family, and now I can have someone I like, and I will not allow His Highness to come."
Qingrong was stunned, the Cui family and the Guogong Mansion are also related. But if he had said so, it might not have been impossible. But that's just one of them.
Qingrong's tone softened a little, and she asked, "Then how are you going to deal with the affairs of the clan?" ”
"When this is over."
The matter? Qingrong was puzzled, but she quickly had a guess, "What are you talking about Mrs. Li?" ”
Cui Chenyu nodded and smiled, "By chance, maybe it's providence." I have a lot to do with the clan, if this matter is settled, I will deal with the disturbances in the clan, and at that time, please ask Lu Niangzi to rest assured. ”
Qingrong was silent for a long time and said, "Then I'll wait and see." ”
She was a little curious for a while, she wanted to see what kind of attitude and ability this elegant gentle gentleman in front of her had... Is it worth Siniang's trust?
